Estate planning at Nusenda means getting each account set up so it transfers automatically when you die—either through a POD beneficiary or trust ownership. Because Nusenda is a membership-based institution, trust retitling must maintain the membership eligibility requirement. Without one of these in place, accounts may require probate before your family can access the funds.
Nusenda offers 13 accounts, each with its own transfer rules. The sections below cover how to set up beneficiaries, fund a trust, and which products support each approach.
- Full legal name, date of birth, Social Security number, and relationship
- Percentage split if you name more than one
Required Documents
- Trust name, date established, and tax ID (EIN or SSN)
Special Requirements
- Nusenda publishes no downloadable POD or beneficiary designation form — the designation is set on the account record through Nusenda.
- The designation is per account, not per member number.
- On an account that is BOTH joint-with-survivorship and POD, the POD beneficiaries take only after the last surviving joint owner dies.
- IRA beneficiaries and LPL Financial investment-account beneficiaries are designated separately from the credit union share accounts.
